	interesting what you can find out by googling around and following
	the online docs!  oN my old/present Dell I have a "CS461x"  which
	is probably in the museum by now.  On the new Dell, catting
	/dev/sndstat says there are dual chip there.=20

	Well, I just spend awhile tried to connect the sound plug on my KVM
	unit ...  I have vim built; the BEL is the same slight beep as
	before.  I only had a few inches and a dim flashlight.  Seattle is
	like Siberia in lots of ways.  it's time to try to find somebody
	who can check out my wires, cables, and so forth. =20

	later on,

	gary
